Abstract

The TXI was flown successfully on 21 June 2001 (36.199 US). All systems functioned as planned and image data were acquired and sent to the ground. Unfortunately, due to a parachute failure the payload was destroyed. In this report we summarize results from the flight and provide detailed information on the high resolution X-ray imaging detector which was developed as part of the program.
